On the occasion of International Tourism Day on 27 September at the National Tourism Awards Dinner, hosted by the Minister in charge of the Federal Tourism Agency, Mr. Vladimir Strzhalkovski, Le Meridien Moscow Country Club received The Yuri Senkevich Award for the Best 4+5 Star Hotel in Russia.
The Prestigious National Tourism Olympus awards were established in 2003 by the Russian Government to recognise the contributions made by the leaders of the industry and were named after the famous Russian traveler and researcher, Yuri Sinkevich. This year the respected Panel of Judges was made up of Tourism Industry Professionals, Government Officials and Parliament Representatives. They had the difficult job of analyzing the enormous volume of application forms with reports and statistics on each company`s performance in 2004/2005. The outstanding work of the whole team at Le Meridien Moscow Country Club`s, led by its General Manager, Mr. John Wood, enabled the hotel to be selected as the best in 2005.
During the evening, Le Royal Meridien National, under the capable leadership of veteran Hotelier, Mr. Yuri Podkopaev, also received a special Hors Concours Award for the outstanding contribution made by the hotel to developing tourism to Russia.
John Wood was absolutely delighted with the award when he said: I am truly honoured to be accepting this award from such an austere body, especially since today is International Tourism Day and the World is celebrating the contribution that Tourism is making to improving the world we live in. This is the 5th award that Le Meridien Moscow Country Club has won in the past year and this is all down to the hard work done by each and every team member, whose main task is to provide the services and facilities that the Resort`s discerning clientele is looking for.
